This book is an amazing book to read because in order to survive the Holocaust, you had to hide, try to escape, or be a German. In the case, Anne Frank went into hiding. This book takes you through the journey of what hiding was like in the Holocaust. Anne Frank and her family hid in a secret annex with another family and a dentist. She hid in there for more than two years. If you like reading about the Holocaust and Anne Frank, this book is for you.
I really enjoyed this book, and feel like it gave a more in-depth look into the life of Anne Frank as we know, and her time spent hiding form the Nazis in World War II. Much longer than your standard picture or informational book, this multi-chapter book really brings to life all of the events that happened to Anne and her family, and portrays it in a way that may be more interesting for older kids, as opposed to a short picture book.
Very well-written and informational, I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially older kids, who are interested in learning about Anne Frank's story.
Quick read, wish there was a little more meat to it but good for a preteen especially if you don't want them reading too in-depth into the horror of the Holocaust
Cate had so much to say about this book ("The Nazis are just stupid, Mom") while we were reading it that I think it will be a great Book Club discussion. I really like these children's biographies - they really get to the heart of the matter.
This was another book I read when I was still obsessed with the World War II era. It's a basic recounting of Anne's life and her family. Again the events and facts are laid out in an easy to understand manner that is suitable for younger children.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in reading about Anne Frank but are maybe not ready for her full diary.
Anne Frank; Life in Hiding by Johanna Hurwitz is about a young girl & her life through out the holocaust period. Anne & her family were all Jewish. During this time, the Nazis were invading many country's & would take all the Jews they caught to concentration camps. When Anne's family heard about this, they decided to move to they upstairs hidden room in Anne's father's old business. While they were in hiding, Anne kept this diary to tell about the great struggles through her life.
With a reminder the other day that Anne's diary turned 70 years old on June 12th, I re-read this book to share the highlights (and low points) of Anne Frank's life with my students. The text is easy to understand, and while it's not as detailed and eloquently written as Anne's actual diary, it does give young people an overview of Anne Frank, her family, and their fate.
5-6; biography; WARNING: Grab the tissues! This book gives you one of the more in-depth perspectives of what it was like to live and take part in (as a Jew) in the holocaust. This book is recommended for an older audience due to its content, but very Informative of the horrors of the holocaust!
